    the only ones that are deep enough for our deep mattress plus mattress topper are from QVC (northern nights).... not where i expected to buy them from, but after trying every department store plus extra deep sheets at places like Dunelm Mill, gave it a try. i like the quality too.

    Mine are from John Lewis and are just a little too big for my king size bed with mattress topper (bed also from JL). Also wash well and are lovely and crisp with minimal ironing. Just their own brand.

    I get a size bigger than the mattress.. double mattress = king size sheets...

    Mine are the 100% cotton ones from Littlewoods catalogue.. my last ones were from La Redoute and are fantastic.

    our matterss is alot deeper than most so i bought an extra deep fitted sheet from a local retailer it cost a bit i think about £25 ( king size) for 1 sheet. but it is a perfect fit and washes fantastic. there is also a bit of extra room so in the winter i can put a duvet on top of the matteress under the sheet for extra snuggle. and it still gives a perfect fit.

    Thanks for all the replies - looks like Ikea gets the top vote :D

    The only snag with that is that the next size up from king size is super king which is actually a 12 inches wider (rather than the 6 inch difference between double>king) so they wouldn't really be fitted sheets!

    They are if your mattress is deeper than the average one and I have a mattress topper on mine too which takes up more of the excess.

    Then because they are 100% cotton a hot wash and TD shrinks them a bit...

    I have SK on my KS bed.

    Marks and Spencer here, we had the cool cotton ones ( the ones which trap heat in the winter and keep you cool in the winter. They are too big for our kingsize mattress.

    Aldi have some super ones now and again--they are a sort of jersey material-soooo easy to put on and off-and lovely and warm in the winter....they stretch very easy to put on.
    Another vote for Aldi we have a deep superking mattress & their SK sheet's fit brill & are lovely & soft, thicker than most sheet's & cheaper too, they have been in store recently because I bought some last week.
    Booo!!!
